Airworthy Avenger inside the hangar at the Tri-State Warbird Museum. This aircraft was accepted into USN service on 24 May 1945. It was assigned to short-lived Torpedo Sqn VT-36 that used it as a trainer and carrier qualification aircraft. On 7 Aug 1945 it was embarked on CVE-112 USS Siboney, bound for the Pacific. The war with Japan came to an end before the carrier reached Pearl Harbor. The Avenger was stricken from service in 1949 and sold to the RCN in 1950. After serving for ten years it was sold, serving as a forest fire bomber along the way. It was bought by the museum in 2004.

1945 Grumman TBM-3E bu 85632 first served in Okinawa. Retired by the US Navy in 1956, it became N7002C 1966 - 1974 with Air Tankers after conversion. Tanker B15 with Norfolk Aerial Spraying as C-GOBJ 1974 - 1989, the aircraft returned to the USA as N81865 as a warbird. A major restoration in 2010, N81865 currently wear the markings of its original WWII Marine Corp unit VMTB-234. N81865 was incorrectly listed on the USCAR as s/n 5632 (last four digits of its former BuNo).
